aah! this life!

my current life gives me the joy of days that go like this:- wake up at 6 45, to be a sleepy but dutiful wife who makes chai while her husband showers, has chai with him and sees him off- wait for the maid to come and do her thing- keep eyes open while she potters around, wishing she would hurry up- dive back into bed the moment she leaves, curl up and slip right back into deep slumber- wake up at 10, have a glass of fresh lime to fight the heat- feel the heat take over, and make you ever so sleepy, and wondering if you will ever sleep TOO MUCH- decide to give in again, get back into bed and go right back to sleep- open eyes at about 12 30, feel uninterested in everything, blame it on the heat, doze off again- doze in and out of sleep intermittently all the way between 12 30 and 4- kick yourself out of bed at 4, decide to make motions to clean up the kitchen you have ignored for 2 whole days- manage to slowly trudgingly clean up, and begin to cook dinner- cook the yummiest smelling vegetable gravy and wait as the pressure cooker does its thing- make plans to go swimming so you can wake yourself up- realize you skipped lunch as a result of your endless slumber- eat 4 biscutis to keep you going- go swimming, the pool is therapeutic, relaxing and lovely -- just what you need after a hard day of, erm..sleeping and sleeping and sleeping- come home, open up a bottle of beer -- your first in the last 10 days- sip sip sip- dinner, some laughs and freshly cut mango- off to bed again!
